It is thirst-quenching and refreshing. It has a sweetness with a hint of melon. This is a very good sake for Niigata.

Good evening! From the past history, I'll upload the sakes I drank at #Ginura Sake Bar. This time, it's "Senshin". This sake is made by Asahi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture. It is 5 years old, but it tastes so beautiful that I felt it was boring for the price. I don't know how I would feel if I drank it now. I would like to drink it again at Gin Kura. (^O^)

This is my second post tonight, back home to my parents 🙌. Kubota Kenshin Junmai Daiginjo 2021BY✨ I'm opening a bottle to feel a traditional sake for the first time in a while: ☺️ The rice used is 100% Takananishiki, and the polishing ratio is higher than that of Manju, which is a high-end line. The aroma is of the light, dry Niigata sake of yesteryear, but with a hint of matured sweet grain 😊The taste is a perfect complement to Japanese food as a mid-meal sake, with a sharp aftertaste, but with a soft, full-bodied rice sweetness that is delicious in its own right 🤤.

Japanese>English

The aroma is fruity and the taste is clear as water.

January 1, 2024 A party at my parents-in-law's house. The second bottle is my brother-in-law's choice, Shijikizuru. The second bottle was my brother-in-law's choice. It is light and dry, but also has a soft umami flavor. It has a soft umami taste. It soaks into your body like water in a good sense. It is a sake that penetrates the body like water. It is best suited for eating during a meal. Delicious with fatty yellowtail sashimi. I enjoyed it with yellowtail sashimi and other I enjoyed it with fatty yellowtail sashimi.

At a sushi restaurant owned by a friend of mine. We enjoyed nigiri-zushi, dried hokke (hokke) overnight, and other seasonal delicacies. There were many Niigata sake that the owner directly sources from Niigata, and we had a bottle of the highly recommended Shimehari-zuru. I had tasted the sake before, but the taste was so delicious that it changed my impression of the sake. The aroma was fruity, and when you put it in your mouth, it was sweet and tasty with a refreshing sharpness. The warmth of the proprietor and proprietress made for an enjoyable time.

Japanese>English

Grandma Mom again. This one is also very good! and the closing crane This is also a well-made honjozo. It is crisp and dry, but also has a delicious flavor and sharpness, so you can drink it for a long time! Thank you very much!

We ordered at Benkei no weibasho, an izakaya near Niigata Station. This restaurant is operated by a local conveyor-belt sushi chain, and we were informed that their seafood dishes are sure to be good, so we made a reservation and visited. I was curious about this sake at Ponshukan, where I had wandered around during lunch. Niigata is known for its dry sake, but this one is quite fruity. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with sashimi. I mean, too much throat groyne!

Japanese>English

58 days after opening the bottle. When I drink it, it seems to warm up. It is delicious as a heated sake. It is a sake brewery in Sado Island.

Japanese>English

Maryo Yamahai Junmai GON Rice：Gohyakumangoku, etc. Rice Polishing Ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 15 We were lured by the comment of the brewer's challenge hidden sake and brought it to you. What is it? It has a light smoky aroma, just like Kenpachi. We ended up drinking it cold, but it was recommended to be served lukewarm. It suddenly got cold yesterday. But I think daikon radish tastes best around this time of year. Starting with cold sake and warming a glass to lukewarm seems like a good idea 🍶. Sake from Sado is never a miss 😋.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

(**Thanks to 🍶🍶🍶🍶) I'm opening a bottle of Hayaseura from Fukui Prefecture 😀 I've been looking forward to it since I bought it at the brewery last year 😆. The aroma is mild and pear ✨😊😊The mouthfeel is light with a beautiful sweetness and umami 😚It also has a nice acidity and sharpness 😘It is sweet and umami but has a clean aftertaste 🥰This is a delicious sake😍This is a perfect strike👍👍👍 It's a sweet and tasty sake that is dangerous to drink ✨🥳🥳.

Japanese>English

Mouthfeel, mellow 🍶. Slightly sour, slightly bitter✨ Complex taste or nice 🌸 I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (9) The event was coming to an end with a series of sake from Ishikawa. We decided to try something a little different and had a drink here 🍶. Hayaseura Special Junmai Sake "Umi-no-Otoko This is an old sake that has been stored in the brewery for 3 years and was served warmed 😁. The aroma of rice flavor, the gentle texture on the tongue, the impact of the flavor at the back of the throat, the warm aftertaste of heated sake, and the bitter taste at the back of the throat at the end........ It is a "man of the sea" respecting fishermen who work at sea, and I feel that it is strongly made to go well with local fatty seafood and salty preserved food 😋. The entrée sold out unexpectedly quickly, so I emptied it before I could check its true value💦.

The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!

Fruity sweetness. Transparent and easy to drink. It goes well with fish dishes. Sake rice is Yamadanishiki from the Tojo Special A district in Hyogo Prefecture. Polishing ratio is 40%.

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo No.10 I had a bottle of Hidakami dry junmai 😀 🔥. It was a traditional strong style 💪 and matched well with the sashimi we ordered. It was a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

There is no night without dawn Today is firefly squid with vinegared miso. My son was taken care of in Ishinomaki, so I made this with gratitude. Hidakami is a dry sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It made me think that sake really goes well with fish.

Third hiyaoroshi of the year🍁 Yummy 😻trolly and thick💪. On the first day of opening the bottle, it was still a bit "onen" and the alcohol smell was a bit stingy, but from the second day it started to show its true potential✨. Slightly dry with a deep rice taste and aroma. The back label recommends chilled, but I also liked it at room temperature 😋.

It's like the masculinity of gusto and honjozo. ♠️ The snow man on the label is a very unlikeable character and I drank it while looking at the label. It's a bit light and easy to drink 🙂 I want to try a hot one next time!

Japanese>English

A modern sake brewed by Aoki Shuzo, famous for Tsururei. It is completely different from the cup of sake Yukio that I drank before. It is sweet with a sour taste, but not cloying and very easy to drink. It was a low-alcohol, fresh summer sake, but when I checked the production date, it was about a year ago.... I think it was sold at room temperature (not in the refrigerator), so I wonder if it is not a summer sake. Well, it tasted good to me, so I don't have a problem with it.

Dry and delicious. Long time no see? Drinking outside makes you drunk? No, no, I'm busy checking in!
